TOPIC: Quality Vendor recommendations for cheap sampling

I just watched that documentary about Kratom and wanted to try it for chronic pain issues. I would like to try a sampler or whatever economical option will let me try several types to really see if anything really appeals to me. I came off hydrocodone and want off the nsaids but I have several problems compounding each other.

I found Gaia first and it has 7 1oz samples for $30 but I keep reading comments on Reddit about how their quality went downhill and I'm reluctant to try them first.

So does anyone have suggestions or recommendations on where I can get a similar deal from a vendor that isn't so questionable? I've been reading junk all day and checking out sites. I'm about crazy and still haven't found any that seem highly recommended with competitive prices.

vendors that you should consider emailing about sample deals : inland botanical, In Sense botanical, total Kratom which is owned by laughing lion, ChristopherOrganicBotanicals....believe these are approved by this forum for high quality and gmp practices.

Inquire on there site or through email about what your looking for, they want to help

There’s more good ones out there like re-leaf and others like Pdo botanical, the first 4 I mentioned might be more economical on the samples route . I’d look into all these vendors . All good people with quality Kratom according to members that frequent here ,

Just received my first order from re-leaf ... have not personally tried in sense but the consensus is all these vendors are all top notch!!

Let us know who you try... (I’d try them all over time .. thats what Im doing ) , I personally like to hear about people’s experience and opinions

, welcome to the forum , I love this place , great resource for all things Kratom and for personal accounts of vendors and ways to live life with less pain, anxiety and depression.... oops, all of my issues... and so much more

The good news is, being you’re clean of opiates, you’ll enjoy less than high quality kratom! Haha!

The reply you already got is a good start. Total Kratom has samples to test their kilos, so I would wait until you are a kilo buyer before utilizing that sample offer.

The others have “sampler” packages on their sites, specifically for new people to see what might be a good fit.

What works for one person, may not work for another. Nobody can have the legwork done for them. It requires a rather patient commitment to self experimentation in the long term.

It’s not just an automatically simple pain reliever. Attention to vendor, color of strain, DOSAGE, and willingness to have some hits and misses are all required.

We support anyone needing a hand with dosage suggestions and such because vendors are legally restricted by law from suggesting types or dosage amounts and they cannot even legally condone consumption of the leaf. That’s politics, pure and simple.

We value the vendors and our support here helps people and vendors match people up with helpful product.

PA Botanicals has great sample packs. i tried the Kratom 'Can't Tell Me Nothin'' - 220 g. Sample Pack which includes 10 grams of every strain, and blends that they sell. it is the widest varied i've seen for sample packs. They offer 2 smaller sample packs that contain less and cost less.
i've used several other approved ILK vendors that sell quality kratom and i continue to use.
just mentioned the PA because you get to sample every strain and blends.

Check out a few vendor's web site and find one in your budget.

Following along with the title of this thread. I enjoy ordering from Canopy Botanicals. They sell 25gram samples for around $4 each. ATTENTION they currently have stem and vein!!!
Canopy Botanicals is a well known approved vendor ( must type “Speciosa” in search).

My next answer to the question can be found in find a vendor/ rate a vendor by using the forum index hint great deal on any 9ounces

Stem and Vein- Usually not for the Kratom Beginner.
Pain Management typical recommends are Red Borneo, Red Bali, Red Thai, Red Indo. Red strains are known to have more pain relieving alkaloids. I manage spinal arthritis and I use Green strains during the day but I had to go through different greens to find the best to keep me on my feet. I use Red strains every night.

Stem and vein- (this is a copy and paste)
Stem and vein Kratom is a type of powder made solely from the stems and veins of other Kratom products. Stem and vein has a very distinct alkaloid makeup because most of the alkaloids found in stem and vein aren't prevalent in the leaves which means these alkaloids are fairly unique

If you get a true quality stem and vein it will hit different receptors than regular kratom, you should be able to get somewhat similar results and since it hits different receptors the idea it will help reset tolerance level without having to take a kratom break.
likely you will need to take more than your normal dose, some will cut the higher dose in half and add stem and vein to help taper a higher dose.
